THE 
INSTRUCTORS

Each of the AFC instructors are seasoned producers who hold a deep love for spreading these frequencies into the world and helping others do the same.

Born and raised in the Honey Island Swamp of Louisiana, Savej is known around the globe for his unique and captivating “Ancient Future” sound.

His integration of ancestral medicine music, organic soundscapes, and exotic world instruments with groovy tribal rhythms and Louisiana flavor effectively bridges the gap between cultures and the Ages of time.

Savej’s live experience is designed to be a celebratory sonic ceremony, a remembrance of who and what we are as human beings, and a reflection of the primordial essence that binds all things – all while infusing irresistibly danceable grooves and heavy-hitting bass.

He has performed at some of the most sought after stages and festivals, ranging from the legendary Luna Stage at Envision Festival in Costa Rica to A-Lot at Area 15 in Las Vegas.

Originating from the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, ethereal beatsmith Saturna has an artistic voice unlike any other.

Saturna is a sonic story-teller who weaves layers of deeply emotive melodies and organic rhythms with cinematic flair.

A lifelong musician, Saturna is dedicated to stitching together narrative threads into a tapestry of distorted synths, warm throbbing basslines and lush percussive elements.

Mfinity is a shrouded enigma in the realm of electronic bass, weaving melancholic soundscapes that transport listeners to a realm of mystery and wonder.

His musical creations are born from his deeply personal childhood memories and the world around him, stirring a nostalgic ache in the hearts of those who experience them.
‍
His music is a unique tapestry of organic sound design, undulating basslines, and intricately woven beat patterns.

Drawing inspiration from a multitude of musical styles, from ambient and trip-hop to future garage and world bass, Mfinity weaves a genre-defying sound that is wholly his own.

HABITAAT (Tomas Wischerath) is a multifaceted DJ composer that uses a creative mixture of natural sounds, melodies, and euphoric dance beats to bridge the gap between the natural world and electronic dance music.

Brazil-born and Bay Area raised, HABITAAT’s unique production is influenced by Hip-Hop, cinematic movie scores, and underground club music, with the aim to make you feel like you are surrounded by nature.

HABITAAT has opened for artists like Bonobo, Clozee, Duke Dumont, and Whethan. With a unique fusion of earthy melodic storytelling and a vast range of rhythms and instruments from around the globe.
